Abstract
A roller bearing end hub has a housing that internally houses a plane bearing, pin, and spring. The spring is biased against the plane bearing which is rotatably connected with the pin. The housing includes two half-housings which are configured to be mated together. The bearing is formed of a shape similar to the housing interior. The pin is smaller than an attached axle stub and the spring does not directly interact with the pin such that the amount of friction between the pin and bearing is minimized.
